Announcement

We are sorry to inform that 2nd Vice President Ryan Dillman has resigned his position as a Downeast Director for personal reasons. Ryan was a tremendous asset to the Society and we are very sad to see him leave the board. The position of 2nd VP will remain vacant until the Annual General Meeting in October 2015, and Ryan's duties will be spread amongst board members.

Completely unrelated to Ryan's departure, the Board we would like to welcome two new directors to our team. Emily Bellefontaine (also VP of the Eastern Shore Bluegrass & Oldtime Music Association) and Charlotte McRae (member of Truro & Area Bluegrass & Oldtime Music Association and 2014 Festival Gate Chairperson) have been appointed as directors for the remainder of this fiscal year, ending in October 2015. We are looking very forward to working with them and continue bringing the best in Bluegrass to you.

We are actively searching for self motivated individuals who are interested in strengthening bluegrass in Eastern Canada. Please send us a message if you are interested in helping!
